Midday Friday

Rep. John Sarbanes talks about his idea to get more Americans and so-called "small money" involved in political campaigns, a way to counter recent Supreme Court decisions that favor big money and corporations. We'll also hear about a project to use algae to counter the effects of power-plant pollution; what's next for Baltimore's venerable Peale Museum, and Baltimore County librarian Paula Gallagher has two books to recommend about the high-octane, high-pressure world of the professional chef -- one a novel, one a memoir.
